Comedian calls comic a “Filipino f*cking ch*nk”

Tony Hinchcliffe took the stage in Austin, Tx this week and thanked the comedian who introduced him by calling him a “little Filipino f*cking ch*nk.”

Peng Dang has performed on some of comedy clubs biggest stages including the Improv Comedy Clubs and Hyena Comedy Nightclubs.

A video from the May 6 incident reached Dang who posted it on Twitter saying “Last week in Austin I got to bring up Tony Hinchliffe. This is what he said. Happy Asian (AAPI) Heritage Month.

Newsweek reports the video has been viewed more than 1 million times. Dang told the magazine the two have worked together numerous times and called Hinchcliffe’s monologue “very, very shocking.”

Dang said he did a few jokes condemning anti-Asian hate before introducing Hinchcliffe and called what happened “very ironic.”

TMZ reports that following the incident,  Hinchcliffe’s talent agent at WME dropped him.

Peng tells TMZ while the audience appears to be laughing at Hinchcliffe’s misguided humor, many in the audience were clearly uncomfortable, especially the women.
